homesick

I felt a bit off after eating breakfast this morning, most likely because of the malaria pill I took yesterday. I think I still have a bit of jetlag so my sleep wasn't great either. Add to the list that I twisted my bad knee on the walk home yesterday so it was sore this morning... it didn't make for the best start to the day.

We normally wouldn't be volunteering on weekends, but the centre is doing a joint 4-day mobile HIV testing event with the government. Today is the last day for it. Everyone headed out to town around 10:30-11am, but I stayed back to rest. After lying in bed with my music and my thoughts, my stomach sickness turned into homesickness. It hit me how long I'm actually gone for and it's gonna be tough to be away for 4 months.

I slept away the afternoon and feel much better after having a shower (... only my second since getting here... water is very limited!) Once everyone comes back from town, we'll be heading into Nairobi to drop Josh's mom off at the airport and then to his friend Christine's house for a little party.

I promise future posts to be more cheery! I think the worst of it is behind me.
